HIGH WATER AT LON;)ON BRIDGE TO INIORIIOW. 1 minute after 10 'Evening ...... 37 minutes after 10 THE " _DOU ILE SUN," CONTAINING BEAUTIFUL MEDALLION PORTRAITS OF MARSHAL SOTJLT AND THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON, IN THE SAME STYLE AS THAT OF HER MAJESTY IN THE " GOLDEN CORONATION SUN," ,S NOW PUBLISHING, AND MAY BE HAD OF ALL NEWSMEN BOTH IN TOWN AND COUNTRY. * EACH PORTRAIT IS WORTH AT LEAST ONE GJINEA. BESIDES THE PORTRAITS AND WREATHS, THERE ARE CHARACTERISTIC MEMOIRS, WITH ORIGINAL ANECDOTES, OF' BOTH HEROES. " THE SUN," GOLD ALL OVER beneficial to themselves, and least likely to impart an unnecessary shock to institutions which it would be wiser to reform than to pull down altogether—there can he no doubt but that in a few years they will have effected every change which events will prove neces sary to their happiness. Let them agitate by all means. The political waters are purer and wholesomer the more they are troubled. Political opinion should never be suffered to stagnate. But between peaceable, con stitutional agitation and the raving of demo cratic fanaticism, there is as wide difference as be tween light and darkness. It will also be seen that Dr. Boil RING anticipates a salutary weeding of the Ministry, from which he augurs great benefit to the country. Unless the Corn-laws are speedily re pealed, we trust such an event may take place before the close of the next Session of Par liament. The President of the Board of Trade stands a poor chance of continuing in office, unless he quickly repent him of his late official blackslidings. The people will have measures, as well as men ; and it is now evident to all that they are really in earnest. It is because they are so, and because we wish them success, that we unite with Dr. BownING in implor ing them to be firm, orderly, temperate, but, above all, rational in their demands. The Times of this morning is exceedingly wroth with Ministers for not resigning. Our Contemporary thinks that they ought to have gone out, and let the Tories come in, months ago ; and because they have not done so, he denounces them, one and all, as a " set of adventurers." His remarks on this head are • diverting in the extreme, if only for their exquisite in consistence. Ministers, it seems, do not resign, because they have still sufficient strength to maintain themselves in office, which is the reason why the Con servatives have not made greater efforts to displace them; and yet,notwithstandi►;g this, we are gravely assured by our Contemporary that " the place-holding Whigs, as a distinct and separate faction, are annihilated 1" An nihilated, forsooth I What, when they still retain active possession of the highest offices in the king dom, and defy the utmost efforts of the Tory squad to eject them I Verily, this is the most extraordinary species of annihilation we ever heard of ; and we have not the slightest doubt that the Tories, as a party, would gladly he annihilatel in a similar fashion. There is one remark made by our Contemporary, in the course of his anti-Whig and pro-Tory diatribe, which is worth notice, as being the only clear and intelligent one to be met with in it. Allud ing to the causes which are in progress to diminish the strength of Ministers, and increase that of the Oppo sition, he says, " the ultra-Radicals are hourly filling the tanks of the Conss4oonal army." This is true, even though the Timet7says it. The " Universal Suffrage" men are adding to the Tory numbers at every fresh demonstration they make, as we took occa sion to observe yesterday. Though most of our readers take not the slightest interest in the affairs of Spain, and the ungrateful conduct of the military and civil authorities towards our unfortunate countrymen, has hardened the hearts of Englishmen against the sufferings of the Spaniards, still the deplorable, the almost hopeless condition of a people who have many good qualities, cannot fail at times to excite strong sympathy. For the last thirty years, they have been suffering either from foreign inva sion, or civil wars. They have formed representative Governments, more or less resembling our own, in the hope of bettering their condition, and these have been put down without fair trial, either by the treachery of their SOVEREIGN or by the bayonets of strangers ; and after all the wars, and murders, and devastation to which the country has been subjected, their condition appears now more hopeless than it was at the com mencement of the sanguinary struggle. _ We can hardly wonder that apathy has succeeded so many fruitless attempts, and that the people should sit down in sullen despair, or attempt by emigration to escape from a country where even the last consolation of the wretched is denied them. L appears from late ac counts that, even disturbed as most of the South Ame rican colonies are, numbers of Spaniards are leav ing their native country, with what vet remains of their property, in the hope of obtaining some place of security and rest in the New World. They can certainly reckon upon neither in Old Spain. The QUEEN'S party is supported only by the good wishes of our Government. France has utterly de serted them. Intrigue, and treachery, and imbecility prevail at Court ; and, what with these hindrances, and the utter prostration of public credit, the expul sion of Don CARLOS by their own exertions is as little to be expected as a miracle. And even should the other prevail, peace would not follow ; for nearly all impartial persons agree (and we have heard the same opinion expressed by many favourable to Don CARLOS' claim), that the principles by which the Durango monster is actuated will for ever exclude him from the throne of Spain. Were the QUEEN and all her Ministers and Camarilla banished to-morrow, civil war would rage with still more violence, and in place of partial executions, such as the PRETENDER now delights in, there would be wholesale butcheries, like those committed by his " beloved" brother. There is one nation that could put an end to this deplorable contest, and that nation, too, is morally bound to exert herself for such an object. The French nation under BONAPARTE was the original cause of the civil war; the French nation under Louis XVIII. destroy e d the Charter which the people extorted from the SOVE REIGN ; and the same nation under LOUIS PHILIPPE became bound to act cordially with Engl an d i n sup port of the QUEEN. LOUIS PHILIPPE broke his promise, and the civil war continues. Were the Spaniards, destined to suffer alike under either dynasty, to raise the cry for a republic, Louts PHILIPPE could not complain if it were responded to by the general voice of the French people. The whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday have been received, with advices from Madrid, of the 19th instant. The latter arc of no moment, being merely confirmatory of the promulgation of a Royal Decree, convoking the Cortcs on the Sth of November. All the news in the French Journals will be found in the annexed extracts. We have likewise received Brussels and German Papers this morning, but they contain no intelligence of any moment : We have the following letter from Posen, Sept. l 2 A person, who is in general well-informed, has sent us word from Warsaw that Field-Marshal Paskewitsch had received the Emperor's orders to make the necessary preparations to con vey to Russia fifty thousand Polish peasants, and to settle as many Russian peasants in Poland in their stead. A whole army will be employed in the execution of this measure, which it is said was ordered by the Muscovite despot, immediately after reading a report from General Sehypoff, which Wormed him that the Polish peasants dared to murmur at the change of their national costume. Nicholas, it is said, was furious on learning that the peasants were so intractable, and resolved at once on taking exemplary vengeance." Though our correspondent assures us that this news is cer tain, we would still believe that it is otherwise : because such a measure as this might excite a gener,%l insurrection in Po land, a thing which Nicholas at this moment dreads above all things, whatever may be said by the Russian and German Journals in the pay of his Cabinet. l - Lwever, if the Autocrat really intends to exercise such an atrocious revenge, of which history has uo instance even among barbarous nations, it is to be hoped that all Europe will oppose it in the name of re ligion and humanity. It should seem that the measure above spoken of is begin ning to be carried into effect, for we find it stated in a Journal that several hundred persons of both sexes have been carried off from the southern part of the Government of Lubesk, in Poland, under a military escort, to be sent to Ekaterinoslaw ; but it is believed that they will not stop there, but go to the country of the Don Cossacks, to which desert country many A FEW COPIES OF THE CORONATION SUN MAY NOW BE HAD PRINTED ALL OVER WITH GOLD, AND BEAUTIFULLY POLISHED.

We earnestly recommend to the serious attention of the Radical Reformers of the United Kingdom, Dr. BowßlNO's speech at Blackburn, which will be found in another part of The Sun. The Doctor is no more afraid of the people than we are ; he fully appreciates the extent of their wants, and their means of obtaining relief ; and as his experience is consider able, and his views liberal in the extreme, he is entitled to the respectful attention, if not to the confi dence, of the working classes. It will be seen from the report, that while the Doctor is not indifferent to the Extension of the Suffrage—to the improvement of the details of the Reform Bill--to the purification of the Church—and to the removal of the numerous abuses that still cling around our domestic institutions, his main object is to unite the people in one great union of power and intelligence for the abolition of the Corn-laws. " You manufacture goods," urged the Learned Gentleman—and his words ought to be care fully weighed—" which you want to sell to procure food for your children, and I trust all the sophistry in the world will be insufficient to divert your attention from the crying evil of the Corn-laws. I assure you that when I urge the people to press this subject on the attention of the Legislature, I do not wish to see them indifferent, or inactive, in regard to other great, im portant, organic, democratic changes. I care not what fortress of the citadel of abuse is attacked. I care not where the breach is made, if the people can but enter. All I desire is, that the attack shou ld be made at the point w h ere the enemy is w eakest, and where the people can bring their utmost strength to bear most fo rc ibl y . Survey, then, the enemys position, and I am per suaded you must come to the conclusion that the • r T weakest part of the garrison is the Con-laws." his in is apparent to every man of deep reflection the land ; although—we trust but for the monoisy lmente—aders the v bulk of the Radicals, led away by a fe% of more influence than sagacity, appear to think that they are actin g as w i se ly i n wasting their energies in 4i4 m t to obtain Universal Suffrage, as they latitOV to push boldly for an instant repeal of de.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 183 Poles have already been sent, as Russia has had to re-people it, to secure the rear of the Cossacks of the Black Sea, who are opposed to the tribes of the Caucasus.-Le Commerce. We lament having to announce that the Duchess de Broglie died on Sunday last. She was the daughter of the celebrated Madame de Steel, whose only surviving child is M. de Rocca, son-in-law of Count Rambuteau, Prefect of the Seine. On Monday, the Austrian Ambassador, the Countess d'Ap pony, the Prince de Schwartzenburg, and Count Mole, had the honour of dining with the King and Queen. Yesterday the King, accompanied by Duke Alexander of Wurtcmberg, and attended by the Minister of War, the Commandant of Paris, and a numerous Staff, reviewed several regiments in the Court of the Tuilieries, and afterwards distributed several crosses of the Legion of Honour. His Majesty afterwards transacted business with the Ministers of Justice and Public Instruction. The Ban Sens states, that M. Cieemann in his late flight from Paris forgot to take with him a small casket, in which were enclosed certain papers, likely to compromise the repu tation cf a number of exalted individuals who had been his secret associates. It the apprehension that the casket might fall into their hands, and that he might thus be deprived of the only guarantee which he possessed for their not abandon ing him, he offered 900 f. to a postilion to ride back to Paris centre a terre, and to obtain possession of a valueble box. The postilion used such extraordinary expedition, that in a few hours he had rejoined M. Cleernann, with the object of his solicitude, which he bad taken from that gentlemae's.resi denee about ten minutes before the arrival of the Commiss.ry of Police, with a werrant to search his apartments. The National, after alluding to the rumo ur of an intended muster of four brigades on the Swiss frontie r, remarks that these warlike preparations are made principally- with a view to combat the spirit of democracy at Berne and Lausanne. " Thus," observes this Journal, " in order to support the di plomatic notes of the Duke de Montebello, our artillery is to be sent into the defiles of Switzerland-the friendly relations of two nations are to be int. rrupted (and once interrupted a considerable time must elapse before they can be renewed), the trade of our eastern departments is to be ruined, and General Aymard is to finish under the walls of Basle and Geneva the work of destruction commenced at Lyons in 1831 and 1834." The National next asks what will be the result should Prince Louis Napoleon return to England, and estab lish the centre of his intrigue at Brighton or Jersey, a few leagues from the coast of France and much closer to Paris than the canton of Thurgau. "In such a case," asks this Journal, " will a second camp of Boulogne be formed to ob tain from the Cabinet of St. James's the concession which it is hoped may be wrested from the Swiss Diet? Why not ad dress to Lord Melbourne a second edition of the note framed by the Duke de Montebello? Perhaps the answer is, in the first place, that there are seine English men-of-war at anchor at Sheerness and Portsmouth, and in the next place, that England is a Monachy, whereas Switzerland is a Republic, whose institutions are daily becoming more democratic." CONSTANCE, SEPT. 22 -At ler -gth tic &Ain stioe touches its conclusion, and in the only way possible-the only one which could terminate advantageously for both countries the unfortunate situation into wilier), they have bee n l e d by th e Mole Ministry. Prince Louis Napoleon, struck, it is said, ith the unhappy cons: quences that might result to the two raione from existing circumstances, and affected especially by seeing the dignity of France compromised by a police un worthy of her, fearing that the lively irritation which is felt in Switzerland might lead from consequence to consequence, and ultimately deprive France of the only continental alliance upon which she could rely-Prince Louis Napoleon has determined to withdraw. He has just communicated his resolution to the Government of Thurgovia in a letter, full, it is said, of noble and estimable sentiments. P. S. Prince Louis Napoleon, in announcing his resolution to the Government of Thurgovia, requested that the Federal Directory might have the kindness to apply to the Ambassa dors to obtain for him the necessary passports. It is said the Prince will go to England, and that the motive of his choice is, because the Government of that country refused to concur in, or to express its approbation of, the demand of the French Cabinet for his expulsion from Switzerland-a circumstance which seems to have made a deep impression on his mind. ALEXANDRIA, Ace. 28.-It will be !difficult to conjecture the manner in which Mehemet Ali may continue his relations with the Porte and the great Powers of Europe. This new treaty of commerce, which interdicts all monopolies in the States of the Ottoman Porte, if it were executed directly, would deprive it, the Porte, suddenly of its principal re sources. Its relations with England, France, and Russia, are of so delicate a nature, that several demonstrations of these Powers may be favourable to it, vvhenevcr they appear hostile. The hope of an amicable arrangement is not yet given up, although Mehemet Ali still refuses the payment of tribute to the Porte. According to credible statements, Ibrahim Pacha, who has no longer any thing to fear from the Druses and the Bedouin tribes, who were united to them, is row organizing his army, which he divides into three divisions ; the first will be sent towards Mount Taurus, under the command of Mus tapha Pacha, Governor of the Isle of Candia ; the second will be stationed near Aleppo, under the orders of Suleyman Paella ; the third at Damascus, under his own personal direc tion.-Augsburg Gazette. A letter of recent date from Christiania observes-" In the treaty of commerce between Sweden and Russia, which has just been renewed for ten years, Russia does not retain the privilege of exporting to that country corn, flour, and other agricultural produce, free from duties; the other Powers, therefore, and Great Britain in particular, will no longer have to complain of this preference." • Extract of a letter from Frankfort, dated the 18th instant : -" We begin to experience the re-action of the shock felt on the Exchange of Paris by Jaint-stock Companies. Lists of subscriptions for these undertakings were opened here, and speculators and capitalists put down their names for large sums. To pay the instalments, draughts to a great amount were sent to Paris ; but now that most of the shares hare fallen below par, the sources from which the ultimate payments were ex pected to be drawn have become dry, and money cannot be obtained at less than 61 per cent., even upon good securities, in which kind of paper shares are not reckoned. The fair just commenced has induced many of our bankers to hold back their cash advances," At a Consistory, held by the Pope on the 13th instant, the Prelate Fieschi and the Archbishop of Mechlin, Engelbert Sterks, were created Cardinals, and on the same day were pre sented to his Holiness. On the day following they received the usual congratulations from the Foreign Minis ters and other distinguished personages in Rome. Intelligence has been brought from Guadeloupe by letters, dated July 30, that the yellow fever had appeared in the hos. pitals, had extended beyond them, and was raging with such virulence that the European soldi er s were dying by , o n an average, ten in a day. M. de Sambossi, the Procure ur du Roi at Mariegalante, was dead ; an d seve ral other public func tionaries were lying ill of the disease. An earthquake had oc curred on June 20, from which a severe winter was predicted. Trade was in a most distressed state. VIENNA, SEPT. 18.-News has just been received from Pesth, that a great fire broke out there, on the 15t1i, at 5 in the afternoon, which was not wholly extinguished till the 16th, in the morning.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—After the per formance of Corio!anus, a new farce was produced here last night, under the title of Brown, Janes, and Robinson—a Le gend of the Hackney-road. We presume that there are a multitude of Browns, Joneses, and Robinsons, at Hackney, and the announcement of this farce excited our apprehensions that the peculiarities of some worthy and respectable individuals were to be exhibited for the public amusement ; but those ap prehensions have been quieted, and we can assure all whom it may concern, that there is nothing personal in the new farce, and that the characters are the same old stagers who have figured in farces from time immemorial. Love is the principal agent, and very obligingly gratifies the audience by leading a young man, handsome and agreeable, and a middle-aged man, testy but good-natured, into a variety of ludicrous situations. The opposite sides of a high garden-wall are climbed with eager impatience by the two lovers, who, instead of meeting the fair object of their search, have the gratification of en. countering each other at the top. Three assignations at the same place, and at the same hour, give rise to the usual em barrassments, which terminate, however, to the satisfaction of all the parties, who have by accident met together in a dirty paddock on a rainy night. In originality this production is wholly deficient ; but in noise and bustle it abounds. Mr. Bartley and Mr. Harley rendered two very stupid characters tolerably amusing ; but, despite their exertions, the affair was tedious, and to attain any degree of popularity must be consi derably curtailed. Some disapprobation was exhibited to wards the conclusion, but we arc bound to say that the sound was almost lost in the applause, which was loud and general. MAIMING NEWSPAPERS.--Since the authorities of the Post-office have decided, in their immaculate wisdom, that the marking of any particular paragraph or article in a newspagcr is illegal, and can be punished by a pecuniary fine, in proportion to the weight of the paper, we would advise all parties who wish to call the attention of persons to whom they send newspapers, to make a cutting on the head of the para graph, and perhaps a short way do wn the column-rule. This w ould serve the purpose as well, and be in every respect as advantageous, besides avoid the possibility of a fine from the Post-offiee authorities. It is a practice which many of the Editors of Provincial Papers in England have long followed. Some extensive traces of Roman edifices have been rec.nitly discovered in the forest of Arothone, near Caudebec, in Normandy, and among them, at a depth of four feet under the soil, the Mosaic pavement of a large chamber of extraordinary beauty. Upon some fragments of the side walls still existing, vestiges of painting in fresco have also been remarked. We have been informed since yesterday, that when the gendarmes di:scovered the paymaster of the 34th regiment in the Bois de Boulogne, whose name is Berard, he had a case of pistols lying by his side. Ile declared that he had intended to commit suicide, but was overcome by fatigue and anxiety, and fell asleep. Letters found upon him proved the truth of this assertion, and particularly one to his Colonel, which concludes with saying that, when it reached his hands the writer would be no longer in existence. He has always been highly esteemed in his regiment.—Galignani. RESEMBLANCES IN THE AUTOCRATIC FAMILY. —The Ausburg Gazette remarks the similarity of the four sons of the Emperor Nicholas to the four sons of the Em peror Paul. The present Crown Prince is, like Alexander, mild and delicate. His second brother, Constantine, bred to the sea, is, like his uncle of the same name, rough and rude. The same remark may yet apply to Nicholas and Michael, but they are yet too young for comparison with their father and uncle. There are only four stage-coaches now employed between Liverpool and Birmingham, and a similar effect is ex pected to be produced on other roads w h ere ra il ways have been, or are near being completed. CITY REGISTRATION. THIS DAY. Mr. MYLNE proceeded with the revision of the Lists of Freemen, and Mr. CRAIG with those of the Householders, but no point of interest wens raised before our Reporter left. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT- (THIS DAY.) A REGULAR TAILORS' CUSTOMER. — Samuel Wake, a fa shionably dressed and smart-looking young man, applied upon his petition to be discharged. The insolvent was not opposed. It appeared fromthe schedule, upon its examina tion by the Learned Commissioner, that the insolvent, who was a journeyman coach-trimmer, though be h ad not, in the common acceptation , of the term, the full complement of tailors to make a man, as creditors, came pretty near that number, as he had no less than seven to whom he was in debted for the chief ornaments of his outward man. Mr. Commissioner LAW (with apparent surprise)—Why, insolvent, your dealing with tailors appears to be very exten sive ; I see your first creditor is a tailor—( A laugh)—so is No. 2, so is No. 3, and up to No. 7.—(lncreased laughter.) One debt I sec was incurred in 1835, two in 1836, and the others in 1837 ; but you do not seem to have favoured any one with your orders in 1838. That arose, I suppose, from your stock being completed, —( Laughter.) It iz well fur you that your easily-imposed-on creditors do not op pose you; but I think it will be but fair- on your part, when your stock of clothes is worn out, and you;are again obliged to apply to a tailor, to take with you a copy of your schedule for his inspection.—(Great laughter.) I hope those who may in future be honoured with your orders will be a little more awake to their own interests.—( Laughter.) The insolvent was otdercd to be discharged. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) A boy was charged with having stolen a quantity of wood, the property of Mr. Chick, of Harper -street, New Kent-road. The complainant stated that he was engaged in building a house in St. Martin's-le-Grand, and has a piece of ground opposite the Post-office, where he kept wood and other articles. The place h:.d been rotbed several times lately, and yesterday the prisoner and two other boys were detected with as much wood as they could carry. The prisoneseas stopped, but the other boys threw down their burdens anTrescapect. The prisoner was remanded, in order that lie might call witnesses to character. . POCKET PICKING.—John Cook, who has been in trouble be fore, was charged with having picked the pocket of Mr. James Cole of Argel-court, 'rbrogmorton-stree', of a pccket handkerchief. Sir J. KEY catnreitt;d him to Bridewell for three months - - James Gobbin, a no'orious character, was committed for trial for having picked the pocket of a gentleman named Varey of a pocket-handkerchief. SALISBURY-SEPT. 25. COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS. (The Right Hon. Earl RADNOR, Chairman. ) SERIOUS CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST THE REV. WM RICHARDS, THE LATE CURATE OF BOWER CHALKE, IN THE COUNTY OF .WILTS.—This charge was preferred against the Rev. Gentleman (who was this day brought before the Bench by virtue of a warrant) for the serious offence of striking the clerk in the palish church of Bower Chalke, on the morning of Sunday, the 9th inst. William Targett said—l am the parish clerk of Bower Chalke. On Sunday morning, the 9th inst., I was teaching some of the Sunday-school children in the chimed, when the Rev. Mr. Richards came up to me and offered to teach my class ; but this I refused to let him do. He then asked Mr. Lilly to let him teach his class, which Lilly acceded to, and he (Lilly) went to another part of the church. I followed Mr. Lilly, consulting him what was to be done about it, and on my return the Rev. Gentleman struck me. Mr. Lilly so far confirmed the Clerk's statement. It appeared that the Rev. defendant is superseded by the Rev. Mr. Adams, who has been duly licensed by the Bishop of Sarum, but that Mr. Richards would not leave the rectory, though a process in law had been instituted against him, and that feeling himself, in point of fact, the legally appointed curate, he proffered his services to teach the children, making use of his own language, in the ways of righteousness. That the Clerk thinking that the Reverend gentleman's services would not be very acceptable, refused his assistance ; but that Lilly, though possessed of the same con sciousness as the clerk, was too modest to dispense with the kindly offered services of the ex-Curate, and accordingly he repaired to another part of the church, where be was followed by the Clerk, and where the consultation took place as to the propriety of allowing the clergyman to act as teacher. The Clergyman, who ;appeared to be labouring under great excitement, being called on for his defence, said— I am about to plead my own cause ; I am a Minister of Jesus Christ. Well, then, on the morning of Sunday, the 9th instant, I went into the Church at Bower Chalke to see if due preparations had been made for a Sacrament, it being the second Sunday in the month; and finding that, owing to the absence of Mrs. Targett, that a teacher was wanting, I offered my services ; but thinking my offer was not very agree ably accepted by Targett, I also offered ttiteach Mr. Lilly's class.—[The Rev. Gentleman here alluded to the kindness bestowed on the poor children at all times by Targett and his wife, and then added)-1 began to teach Lilly's class while others were teaching the A B C class ; and just im mediately after I began, the Clerk (Targett), came up to me, and told me that I must leave the Church, whereupon I raised my arm and put it gently to wards his breast, and said, " Well then, you first." I did not hurt him, nor neither did I wish to hurt him ; if I have injured him let him show you, my Lord and Gentlemen pre sent, his marks—the marks of violence which I committed on him. He cannot. I defy him to exhibit any such marks. But, my Lord and Gentlemen, I have been perse cuted.—(Here the Reverend Gentleman took off his coat, and having pulled up his sleeve, said " Here is a mark of violence which I received when I was dragged out of the Church ; I was bruised from bead to foot." Producing a bundle, he said, " My Lord, here is ;my shirt, which ex hibits marks of blood on it ; I have kept it in this dirty state on purpose to show it. I was only taken into custody this morning." Earl RADNOIt observed4that by the evidence of the Cler and by his (the Rev. Gentleman's own showing) he was guilty, he did not say of a moral fault, but guilty of that offence, which, in the eye of the law was an assault. He was there fore convicted, and taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, the Bench was not disposed to inflict on him a fine above the sum of 55., and the expences, which in the whole amounted to 14s. 6d., and in default of payment he must be committed to goal. Last night, between twelve and one o'clock, a most alarming and destructive fire broke out on a large farm and premises belonging to Mr. Clode of the Castle Tavern, Windsor, situate about three miles to the west of that town, near to the village of Bray. The flames, which were first discovered in one of the domestic offices attached to the farm house, speedily communicated to the dwelling which was oc cupied by Mr. Cooper, the bailiff of Mr. Clode, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the family escaped with their lives. The engines from Windsor and Maidenhead reached the spot in the course of half an hour after the breaking out of the fire, and, by the assistance of a party of soldiers from the barracks of the former town, the flames were got under by about three o'clock, but not before they had destroyed the greater part of the dwelling-house, together with the whole of the offices and out-buildings. The greatest prais^ is du ,- ! to Mr. Cooper for the calmness and intrepidity he displayed on such a trying occasion, and to the soldiers and countrymen, who did their utmost to check the progress of the devouring element. POST OFFICE ARRANGEMENTS.—It iS announced that for the future the express mail for London via Holyhead and Chester (we did not know before that there was any such, although some time since we sought for information on the point) will be made up at half-past six o'clock in the morn ing, to be despatched to Kingstown at seven ; and that the London mail via Holyhead and Shrewsbury will be made up at half-past seven o'clock in the evening. We do not know what is the object of the change. It is plain that at present there is no intention to give Dublin the advantage of the opening of the railway line between Liverpool and London. What is the meaning of this ?—Pilot. The weather was very favourable for reaping and securing the crops during the whole of last week, except Sa turday night and Sabbath morning. Harvest is now general in the midland districts—is finished on some farms near the shore, and a great deal of work has been done within the last few days. Turnips continue to improve rapidly ;an 1 the qua lity of the potatoes is in general most excellent.—Ayr Ob server. The General Steam Navigation Company's packet the Giraffe, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-house ; yesterday, at two o'clock, P. M. THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL FOR OCTO BER contains, we understand, an article on the Battle of Toulouse, likely to fix the attention of military men both at home and abroad. The paper, which is said to be founded on authentic data, is to be illustrated by an accurate map of the ground and position of the tt oops of both nations ; and consi. dering the unusual interest created by the question itself, and by the recent visit of Marshal Soult to this country, the article will, doubtless, attract more than common notice from all classes of readers. A young► man, named Robert Smith, fashionably dressed, with a cloak hanging on his arm, was committed from Bow-street yesterday to the House' of Correction for three months, on the charge of being at the English Opera Howe for the purpose of committing felony. There was no - direct evidence that would condemn him, but the police stating that he belonge•l to a gang of pickpockets of about ten or twelve, living together in a court out of Drury-lane, and that one day he would be almost naked and the next dressed like a gentle man, the Bench said he should be committed to prison as a rogue and vagabond. To-morrow will be the anniversary of the birthday of Admiral Lord Nelson, who was born in the year 1758, at the Parsonage-house of Burnham Thorpe, in Norfolk, of which parish his father was rector, and his son, Horatio, went to sea at twelve as a midshipman. At Hull Custom-house, on Slumlay last, the duty (one slAling) was paid on eiglityf yr thonsand Tra7ters of wheat in bond ; of this enormous quantity Messrs.
